the wrong species for the situation, or designed the planting method poorly, or the tree is raised or planted incorrectly, the tree will not reach its potential mature size or will die.\u00a0 A waste of everyone\u2019s time and money and a depressing loss of a great opportunity.\u00a0 BS8545 was developed because this has been happening all too frequently, and the Trees and Design Action Group (TDAG) is doing great work in addressing the complex issues that need to be resolved in urban planting schemes.<\/p>\n<p>As landscape architects, we have most influence over species selection and the design of planting methods and at terra firma we have recently been reviewing the way we specify tree planting.\u00a0 This has not been straightforward, despite the fact that BS8545 champions a starting point of the simplest approach, i.e dig a hole, put in the tree (right way up is good) and put the same soil back in.\u00a0 Any deviations from this should be in response to constraints particular to the site conditions and the intended design and there should be no standard planting details or soil specifications.<\/p>\n<p>This is difficult in the early stages of projects or where we are only involved in the planning application. \u00a0At this stage usually very little is known about site conditions and we can only give standard spec notes on drawings submitted for planning.\u00a0 Giving the most basic (constraint-free) planting method at this stage is dangerous in case some early costings are developed which don\u2019t allow for the addition of more complex planting techniques or materials.\u00a0 So we have devised wording for planning drawings which gives the planning authority confidence, complies with best practise, and makes provision for possible elements which might have cost implications, all in the absence of detailed site condition information.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years that I have been with terra firma we have evolved our tree planting specification a number of times and are currently leading a tree planting trial with Kieron Beattie Landscaping Ltd and soil scientist Tim O\u2019Hare. \u00a0More details of the trial will be published later this year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1505\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1505\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
